Wow! That's a lot of $5 words in a short amount of space.

Genkaus, I know we have fundamentally different opinions about what 'concepts' really are. Don't you suppose that some things are discovered rather than fabricated. It seems to me that mathematical truths do not vary, though we may not fully understand them. Why must we exclude final ends from the discovery process? Why assume that final ends are abstract fantasies?
